KIRI'S POV
"On a scale of one to ten how pretty is this shell?" I turned asking Rotxo."Mmm I would sayyy an eight" he replied. I smiled at him and went back to picking up shells.
I woke up early in the morning to collect seashells since I've been meaning to do so since I got here. I was hoping to make a cute bracelet with them. While I was picking the shells Rotxo came by and offered to help. I like spending time with Rotxo, he is the only metkayina kid, besides Tsireya and Au'rai, that doesn't make me feel like a freak. He's always so kind to me. He makes me laugh and sometimes the things he says to me make my heart flutter.
In the short amount of time that I've been here, I've begun to grow a bit of feelings for Rotxo, I've never met another boy like him, he makes me feel wanted. But at the same time there was also Aonung. Now, Aonung is someone that I absolutely know I shouldn't like. He is quite an asshole, as my brother Lo'ak would say. He is also very confusing. He's kind and flirts with me one day and then he's making fun of me and calling me a freak the next. It's like I never know which Aonung I'm going to get. It also doesn't help that him and my brothers hate each other. The fight they had yesterday morning confirms that. The reason the fight even happened in the first place was because Aonung got too touchy with me, but I don't understand why my brothers got so mad, he didn't touch me too bad and I didn't even mind that much. I often stress myself thinking about choosing between Rotxo and Aonung, when in reality there is nothing to stress about. I know Rotxo actually has a crush on me and I know Aonung doesn't so the answer should be obvious. Right?
AONUNG'S POV
The goal for today is to make things right with Kiri and to tell her how I feel. I really messed up yesterday. I didn't care about getting in a fight with her brothers, I care about the fact that what I did was wrong. I shouldn't have been touching Kiri the way I was and although it wasn't that bad it was still wrong. My father and mother made me see that. So from now on I will treat Kiri with the upmost respect, the way I should've been doing this whole time.I got the prettiest pearls and seashells and made Kiri a bracelet. She had mentioned wanting one to me, so what better way to apologize? I hope she likes it, I worked really hard on it. I got a small oval wooden bead and carved the letter 'A' in it. A for Aonung of course. I wanted her to always be reminded of me. Once I finished the bracelet I started walking towards the Sully's pod. Before I could get there I saw Kiri and Rotxo. They were sitting closely next to each other and looking at seashells. Why were they so close? Why are they laughing? I felt the jealousy and rage consume me so I stomped away. How could she like Rotxo more than me? What does he have that I don't?
